ABOUT ME
I am a positive thinking, open-minded , peaceful guy and most of the time you will find me in a good mood!
I like traveling and meeting people.
In the past 16 years I worked in different cities in Germany. These were mainly Dortmund, Cologne and Munich. While not working I studied computer sciences at "University of Applied Sciences Dortmund / Gummersbach" as part-time student.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Having a flat in Munich, I like to share some space and time with people from around the world.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
In Munich we have a big festival called "Oktoberfest". I often gave away my couch to guests visiting this event. I have contact to most of them till now.
I never got contacts from CS. You can change this. Help me making this a great experience, I'll do my very best :-))
Interests
I like reading books, hiking, skiing and arts. Friends would also add having phonecalls, having more phonecalls and, if not having phonecalls, reading / writing mails.
I like to visit the famous bavarian beergardens. Visiting restaurants is an other obsession. I visited lots of restaurants in the cities I lived in. I like to share this expertise with everyone who likes to partcipate.
Some years ago I started playing icehockey in a local hobby team.
Also wakeboarding has become addictive, even as I am not so advanced as I wish :-).
